Calling init() method from "session scope" backing beans (AbstractPageBean)

hi,
i prepared a jsp/jsf page named DBmanage, its backing bean's scope is set to "session"
the page contains - among other components - one radiobuttongroup, the buttons of which i would like to rename at the first time when the user visits the page... (default names are "item 1", "item 2", "item 3")
i thought that the overridden init() method does the work for me with this simple code:
import com.sun.webui.jsf.model.Option
@override
init() {
rbg_default_options.setOption( new Option[]{new Option("it1", "RB1"), new Option("it2", "RB2")}
so, let see how this code works when DBmanage backing bean's scope is "request"
great! i see a radiobuttongroup with two buttons, named RB1 and RB2
ok, now i change the scope to "session"
sh&#@t!!! now i'm gazing at a page with buttons named "item 1", "item 2", "item 3"
let's place a breakpoint inside the init() method and DEBUG... and my init() code has not run(??), how can this happen? init() method is valid only for request beans?
pls! could anyone help me?
ps.: i work with netbeans6.0 & glassfish
thanks
Gabor

it's ok. i found out why it wasn't working.
my scope was set to "session", but had to be "request" so that i could use the params syntax.
thanks anyway.

Calling a method in a different backing bean when I leave a different JSP

Hi,
I have an existing JPS, JspA, who's backing bean is BeanA.
JspA has an action, ActionA, called when I click "save" on JspA.
I want to include a new JspB which is launched when the user clicks "save" on JspA. I have done this with a new navigation rule. The user now does his stuff on the new JspB page and calls "exit" on this page. This calls an action on JspB's backing bean BeanB and navigation rules send the user back to JspA. Problem is I now want the old code in ActionA to execute as if JspB had never existed but not sure how to do this? I don't want the user to have to do anything else to initiate a fresh call to ActionA, I just want it to execute when navigation returns to JspA
Thanks ...

Hi,
what you say is not true. You can execute any code within a selection listener you want. If you can print then it shows the method s called and you can execute whatever you want within this method

Problem calling Java method from JavaScript in JSP / ADF

Hi all,
In my JavaScript onMouseUp() function, I need to call a method on my Java backing bean. How is this done? Info on the web indicates a static Java method can be called by simply "package.class.staticMethod(...)". but when I put the statement
"jsf.backing.GlobalRetriever.createBasemap(affectedLayer);"
I get an error message "jsf is undefined".
The functionality I'm trying to get is: I have a custom slider control and based on its value, I want to call oracle map viewer specifying a map extent of the (current extent / slider value) to do a zoom in/out. In addition, the slider uses a onMouseMove() function to change the size of the image display so it looks like a dynamic zoom in/out.
Please assist or let me know if I can provide some additional information. Thanks in advance.

No. The Java and Javascript in a Faces application are really working in two different universes.
Java is running on the server. It generates HTML (and sometimes even Javascript) and sends that to the client machine. That's where all your backing beans are.
Javascript runs directly in the browser. There's no way anything on the server can have access to anything you define in Javascript, unless you explicitly send that information back to the server, either via standard form submission (which only works when someone presses a "Submit" button) or via an Ajax-type call. So otherwise, nothing you define in Javascript will ever be available to a backing bean.

Operation not found error while calling AM methods from managed bean

Hi,
operation not found error while calling AM methods from managed bean.
written a method with two parameters in AM.
exposed the method in AM client interface
in the page bindings added the method in method action ..left empty in the value fields of the parameters.
calling the method from managed bean like below
String userNameVal = (String)userName.getValue();
String passwordVal = (String)password.getValue();
OperationBinding operationBinding =
ADFUtils.findOperation("verifyLogin");
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("userName",userNameVal);
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("password",passwordVal);
operationBinding.execute();
i am getting operation verifyLogin not found error.Please suggest me something to do.
Thanks
Satya

Hi vlsn,
Can you try with the below code
// in your backing bean
OperationBinding operation = bindings.getOperationBinding("verifyLogin");
//Put your both parameters here
operation.getParamsMap().put("parameter_name1", parameterValue1);
operation.getParamsMap().put("parameter_name2", parameterValue2);
operation.execute();
if (operation.getResult() != null) {
Boolean result = (Boolean) operation.getResult();
and share the result.

Calling Stateful & Statless Methods from the same Entity Bean[EJB2.0]?

All Business logic resides in session beans[Stateful or Stateless]..For stateful beans we are opening connections in entity bean ,calling business methods and closing connection in entity bean itself..Problem is
I am doing lookup for stateful and stateless both since both objects are called by extending MainBean in same entity bean else will give null pointer exception..
So whenever i call a Stateful or Stateless method from entity bean Which ultimately extends/calling MainBean and thereby calling home.create methods of stateful and stateless both..creating objects..Is this way fine or it will affect the performance?
Do i need to segregate the Calls/invokation to Stateful / Stateless methods at entity bean level too..
For ex:- Whenever i call Methodxyz() method ..at the same time it create 2 objects as its extending MainBean...i want to extend/create 1 object either of stateful or stateless one for stateful and stateless methods call respectively..
See the code in entity bean is like
public class EntityBean extends MainBean
Public Methodxyz
stfobj.MakeConn(); call to stateful method defined in stateful bean
stlobj.getXyz();// call to stateless method defined in stateless bean
stfobj.CloseConn(); call to stateful method defined in stateful bean

write a context listener and set up your web.xml as such
<listener>
<listener-class>com.package.ContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
Then your class should inmplement ServletContextListener interface.
The 2 methods need to be implemented
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sc_event) { }
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sc_event) { }
Hope that helps

EJB 3.1 @Asynchronous and calling other methods from within

Hey all,
I am helping a friend set up a test framework, and I've turned him on to using JEE6 for the task. I am decently familiar with entity beans, session beans, and such. One of the new features is @Asynchronous, allowing a method to be ran on a separate thread. The test framework generally needs to spawn potentially 1000's of threads to simulate multiple users at once. Originally I was doing this using the Executor classes, but I've since learned that for some reason, spawning your own threads within a JEE container is "not allowed" or bad to do. I honestly don't quite know why this is.. from what I've read the main concern is that the container maintains threads and your own threads could mess up the container somehow. I can only guess that this might be possible if your threads use the container services in some way.. but if anyone could enlighten me on the details as to why this is bad, that would be great.
None the less, EJB 3.1 adds the async capability and I am now looking to use this. From my servlet I use @EJB to access the session bean, and call an async method. My servlet returns right away as it should. From the async method I do some work and using an entity bean store results, so I don't need to return a Future object. In fact, my ejb then makes an HttpClient call to another servlet to notify it that the result is ready.
My main question though, is if it's ok to call other methods from the async method that are not declared @Asynchronous. I presume it is ok, as the @Asynchronous just enables the container to spawn a thread to execute that method in. But I can't dig up any limitations on the code within an async method.. whether or not it has restrictions on the container services, is there anything wrong with using HttpClient to make a request from the method.. and making calls to helper methods within the bean that are not async.
Thanks.

Yes since the EE spec delegated thread management to conatiners, the container might assume that some info is available in the thread context that you may not have made available to your threads.
Also threading is a technical implementation detail and the drive with the EE spec is that you should concentrate on business requirements and let the container do the plumbing part.
If you were managing your own threads spawned from EJBs, you'd have to be managing your EJBs' lifecycle as well. This would just add to more plumbing code by the developer and typically requires writting platform specific routines which the containers already do anyway.

Thanks.If you want to be asynchronous without caring about a return value then just use MDBs.
The async methods have no restrictions on container services and there is nothing wrong with calling other non async methods. Once the async method is reached those annotations don't matter anyway (unless if you call thhose methods from a new reference of the EJB that you look up) as they only make sense in a client context.
Why do you need to make the call to the servlet from the EJB? Makes it difficult to know who is the client here. Better use the Future objects and let the initial caller delegate to the other client components as needed.

Call Java Method From JavaScript Function

hi everyone
i need a help in calling Java method from a javaScript method
ex:
function confirmAddRecord() {
cHours =document.getElementById('frmP:ChargeHours').value;
cSTime =document.getElementById('frmP:ChargeStartTime').value;
var answer = confirm("Are you sure you want to add Record?")
if (answer){
here i want to call the Java Method that is located in session bean that takes the upper params cHours & cSTime
else{
return false;
i know i can do it as an action button but it is required me to be in that way can any one help plz

That depends on the nature of your parameters. I guess you calculate the params on client and then want to submit them. In this case and if you don't want to use Ajax simple add some <input type="hidden"> elements (of course there correspondend components dependent of your framework) and store the params there. If the javascript isn't invoked by a button click, you can use a button nevertheless. Set visible="false" and call
document.getElementById('client_id_of_my_hidden_button').click();
(or maybe doClick() dependent on your framework).

How to Call C++ Method from Java

I need to call C++ method from Java.
I have gone through the JNI tuorial , but was not able to pin point things.
I read that :
You have to write JNI c functions which then call your C++ member functions.You need to write a JNI function which will call new on your C++ class.
Now i have java class :
Java Code JavaClass.java ---->
class JavaClass{
public native void nativeMethod();
    static
        System.loadLibrary("NativeCppCode");
     private void callCppMethod()
          //call C++ method
                JavaClass jvc = new JavaClass();
                jvc.nativeMethod()
}Cpp Code:
NativeCppCode.h---->
class NativeCppCode
public:
    getValue();
    setValue();
private:
   int a;
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_JavaClass_nativeMethod(JNIEnv *env
               ,jobject obj);NativeCppCode.C---->
NativeCppCode::getValue()
   return a;
NativeCppCode::setValue()
   a = 1;
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_JavaClass_nativeMethod(JNIEnv *env
               ,jobject obj)
NativeCppCode* nativeInstabce = new NativeCppCode();
NativeCppCode.setValue();
}Is this the correct way to do it.
Any suggestion would be a great help to me

tryit wrote:
I need to call C++ method from Java.Not possible.
JNI uses C methods.
Is this the correct way to do it.Same way you would do it in any C/C++ method (not java)
       MyClass* p = ....
       p->doit();
Common idiom for the pointer in the above is to pass it back and forth to your java code as a java long. You cast it it and from your class pointer. Provide an explicit java method to free it when done. Besides providing the explicit method also implement a finalizer to free it as well (however that is a fail safe and should not be relied upon.)

How to call java method from workflow script?

Hi
I have a requirement of updating field value 'Document Status' based on review/approve of content from Workflow and hence need to update the version number. For that I need to call my java method from workflow during submit of review/approve condition. Please let me know how to call java method from workflow?
Is there any alternative better way to achive this requirement from workflow? Please suggest.
Thanks,
Sarang

OK. So, I think we can all conclude that you don't need to call any Java method, can't we? And, that wfUpdateMetadata is the command that will update your metadata.
Now, the question is what are its arguments. It has two - the first is the name of a custom metadata field to be updated (let's suppose that one field is called xMinorVersion, and the other xMajorVersion), the other is the new value, e.g. <$wfUpdateMetaData("xMinorVersion", "New value.")$>As for new value - do you insist on using strings? Since you want to increase the value, it would be more convenient to work with numbers. For instance, with integers you could go with <$wfUpdateMetaData("xMinorVersion", xMinorVersion + 1)$>With strings you will need to convert it to numbers and back to strings. Besides, what happens if you have more than 100 minor versions? (you mentioned you want to add 0.01, but that would finally increase the major version, wouldn't it?) So, I think these two numbers are independent (perhaps, with exception that increase on the major version set the minor version to .00).
If you want to present it, you can use profiles that will construct for you the representation 2.304 out of MajorVersion = 2, MinorVersion = 304
Solved?

Call Java method from c/c++ from native thread

Hi,
I know how to call a method from c/c++ with jni back to Java
but this fails when I try to do this from a native thread.
I can get the object class (jclass) but its seems to fail to get a method from that class.
How to make it work?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, problem has been solved
I just get the jmethodID inside a JNI method and pass it to the thread.

Calling a method from a super class

Hello, I'm trying to write a program that will call a method from a super class. This program is the test program, so should i include extends in the class declaration? Also, what code is needed for the call? Just to make things clear the program includes three different types of object classes and one abstract superclass and the test program which is what im having problems with. I try to use the test program to calculate somthing for each of them using the abstract method in the superclass, but its overridden for each of the three object classes. Now to call this function what syntax should I include? the function returns a double. Thanks.

Well, this sort of depends on how the methods are overridden.
public class SuperFoo {
public void foo() {
     //do something;
public void bar(){
     //do something
public class SubFoo extends SuperFoo {
   public void foo() {
      //do something different that overrides foo()
   public void baz() {
      bar(); //calls superclass method
      foo(); //calls method in this (sub) class
      super.foo(); //calls method in superclass
}However, if you have a superclass with an abstract method, then all the subclasses implement that same method with a relevant implementation. Since the parent method is abstract, you can't make a call to it (it contains no implementation, right?).

Need help calling a method from an immutable class

I'm having difficulties in calling a method from my class called Cabin to my main. Here's the code in my main              if(this is where i want my method hasKitchen() from my Cabin class)
                    System.out.println("There is a kitchen.");
               else
                    System.out.println("There is not a kitchen.");
               }and here's my method from my Cabin class:public boolean hasKitchen()
     return kitchen;
}

You should first have an instance of Cabin created by using
   Cabin c = ....
   if (c.hasKitchen()) {
     System.out.println("There is a kitchen.");
   } else {
        System.out.println("There is not a kitchen.");
   }

Calling a method from another file

This is pretty basic stuff but i can't seem to get it right. I am calling a method from another file. The other file IS located in the same folder BUT when i compile i get errors
"cannot find symbol" <===referring to limit and sieve i believe.
The method name is "sieve" the file name is "PrimeSieve2008" and "limit" is the variable in brackets in the real method.
     public static void main (String [] args) {
final int [] PRIMES;
int sieve = PrimeSieve2008.sieve(limit);
     PRIMES = sieve(getValidInt());
          for (int j = 0; j<PRIMES.length; j++) {
               System.out.println("Prime[" + j + "] = " + PRIMES[j]);
Is "int sieve = PrimeSieve2008.sieve(limit)" the wrong way to call a file?
Thanks a million,
Alex

Calling a method from another class... that requires variables?

I'm calling a method from another class to change the date (its a date object) in another class.
I keep getting the error 'setDate(int,int,int) in Date cannot be applied to ()'
My code is:
public int changeDate()
cycleDate.setDate();
}I'm guessing I need to pass 3 parameters (day, month, year), but I'm not sure how! I have tried, but then I get errors such as ')' expected?
Any ideas! :D

Any ideas! :Dyou need to post your code if you're getting specific errors like that.
but typically ')' expected means just that, you have too many or not enough parenthesis (or in the wrong place, etc.)
i.e. syntax error
